I actually had an experience with a girl once, in highschool, who casually mentioned how weird it was when writers in books would describe how they could envision things. They thought it was metaphorical and overdramatic. I somehow managed to successfully walk her
through imagining something in her head, and it was like someone's reaction to taking mushrooms for the first time. She couldn't believe what had happened, her pupils dilated, she was excited and had goosebumps. I believe that you're partially correct in that this ability is suppressed in a lot of people. However, there do appear to be some people who are just genuinely incapable of it.
Your lesson is a memory from Sunday School and reading circle for me. Did you ever all image a rose, and smell the rose? I grew up hearing my elders say so much was removed from school. Even more was removed when my kids were in school.
Sometimes, I just sit on my balcony for hours and stare in to my mind's eye, casually living through countless scenarios and ideas that are so vivid and wild it would make Pixar jealous. I just can't fathom living through life without this ability; it's as natural to me as breathing. We are a completely dominated, subjugated and oppressed species. But God is Great, and has a perfect sense of humor which is based on truth and love— real love, full of justice and wisdom. I've seen enough people's lives get undone by their evil actions to know that karma is the sword with which God strikes down evil: they set in motion their own demise, by the very laws of nature.
Even the most evil people, who lived comfortable lives until death, will have to suffer in the afterlife— watching everything they built be torn down and repurposed by even greater evil, until it all gets conquered by good, for good.
Daydreaming, and reading are like movies to me too. But, I think these people with no inner voice are dangerous. They're the type to , " just following orders", and that's no good.
Some of us have great instincts, but we were taught to ignore them because it was weird as a child. relearning how to listen is very difficult.

It's just sad. This was by design.
